A NEW PRINTING MACHINE.

One of the new industrial enter
prlses of Baltimore is the building
of Merenthaler linotype machines
at one of the shops there. The ma
chine is a combination of various
patented devices for setting type.
1t is operated by q keyboard, like
type writer, and produces the mat
fer cast in lines the exact width OF
the column, similar in all respects
to the line of type, except that the
line is in one piece Of metal. The
operator continues on another line
soon as one is composed, the ma
chine doing the casting mechanic
ally, without any aid from the op-
orator. The justification of the
lines, heretofore the great obstacle
TO the success of all type-setting
machines, is accomplished by means
of springs which make the space
between the words exactly uniform
The molten metal is contained in a
tank in the machine and is forced
into a matrix, and the line is cast
az soon as finished by the operator
The matter is ready at once to be
made up for the press. 1t a typo
graphical error occurs the line must
be- recast to correctlt 1t is claim
ed that an operator with o1e OF
these machines can do the work oI
ten or twelve compositors. The
machine is beng developed by q
syndicate of New York, Chicago
Cincinnati and Washington news
papera. A large proportion of thu
New York Tribune is set mp by the
machine. Mr.. Merenthaler, thu
principal operator, is snperintend
ing the manufacture. Over a hun
dred hands are employed.

The 6uTernur Of North Carolina 10 The Gov
ernuT Of South Carolina.

washington letter to Phila. Record.l
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Thompson was formerly Gov
ernor OF South Carolina, and might
therefore be supposed to know more
or less about that famous remark of
the Governor of North Carolina
He said to me the other day that it
was marvellous how far that remark
had travelled. During bis long
tour of inspection among the light
house and life.saving stations on
the great lakes this summer he
heard of it in the most unexpected
ways and places. "Why," he con-
tinued, Zone day Mr.. Klmball (the
superintendent of the Life-Saving
Service) and went ashore at lit
tie village to get shaved. We
found a barber-shop and two in
ouisltive BARRIERS. The one who
shaved me asked questions about
my iourneyings until he found out
that | was from Washington, and
then he asked me whether | had a
place in any Of the departments
| 7 told him that had, but did not
think it was well to pursue the sub
iect. He got through before the
other barber and l told Kimball as
I surrendered my chair to an old
conntryman that l would wait fol
him outside. No sooner had gone
than my barber asked Kimball who
was. That was Gov. Thompson
of South Carolina, he said, now
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury.j With that the old farmer
rose up in his chair, all lathered al
he was, and said: DO you suppose
he would tell me what it was the
Governer of North Carolina said t.
himi l asked Gov. Thompson wht
those famous Governors were ant
lust what occurred at their famous
meeting. He said that he did no
know them by name, and that thu
story was old when he was born.-
The tradition was that the Gov
ernor of North Carolina, in thu
good old days when prohibition
was not dreamed of, journeyed OF
horseback, of course, to make a for
NAL call on the Governor Of Soutl
Carolina. The latter had a jugfu
of liouor in the boue at the time
and tor some lnexplicable reasol
could get no more. When his dis
tinguished guest arrived he sat tn
lug out on the table and invited th
Governor of North Carolina to max
himself at home. The guest dram
copiously, the host moderately, t
preserve at once his soberness an
his liquor. At last he saw wit
dismay that his guest had dram
the last drop Of the precious liquo
The guest was too drunk to kno'
it, but he missed the familiar inv
tation of the host to take anotht
drink. So, leaning on his elbow
he looked across the table reproacl

AIRY LEADER.

AIRY LEADER.
The following interesting incl
dents 10 the army life Of Gen. Bed
ford Forrest were witnessed by an
eye witness, and now for the first
time published:
In December, 1862, Gen. n. b.
Forrest crossed the Tennessee river
and made a raid through west Ten
nessee, which portion OF the state
was fortified in many places, all Of
which we're strongly garrisoned.-
While making a feint against jack
son Ito enable the larger part of his
brigade to uninterruptedIy capture
the small stOckades on the railroad)
a staff officer galloped up to the gen.
eral and exclaimed, excitedly:
"General, general, the Yankees
are coming up in your rearw
Without a moments hesitation,
in the most Indifferent manner i'm.
aginable, Forrest replied:
I don't kere I'll
about face an I'll be in thar rar."
While crossing the Tennessee rlv-
er returning from this raid) bis
rear was strongly pressed by the
Federals. The ferryboats bad to
be pulled back and forth by hand.
The weather was terribly cold and
as the men hauled upon the wet
ropes their hands would literally
freeze to them. Forrest thought
those on the east side we're work
ing too slowly and crossing oyer he
Immediately put every one to work
officers as well as priyates.
The colonel who had been lett IN
command on the west side sent bis
sergeant major across the river
with an important message to For
rest. The sergeant found the gen.
eral hauling on a rope, alternately
encouraging and dsmning every
one near him. He ran up to For
rest, and began:
"General, Col. Woo"
"D-m colonel whoever he is.-
Ketch hold of this rope and helI
pull the boat in I"
"But, general, colonel"
"Don't talk to me. Help pul
this boat in, or I'll throw you il
the river" shouted Forrest.
"But, general, Pm sent" be
gan the sergeant, when Forres
seized him, and with one twist o
his muscular arm lifted the messen
, ger clear off his feet, and stood hin
. up in the water waist deep. Th'
, sergeant, to save himself as b
went over, seized hold Of Forrest
coat and pulled the general in wit
him. Forrest retained his hold O
the sergeant, and exclaimine

WILL FEED IN WYOMING.
Native Cattle Will be Fattened at Home
for Eastern Markets.

The Cheyenne & Burlington promises to
be an important factor In the revolution
izlng of the cattle business in south Lara
mic county. Tributary to this new branch
is the great corn producing district of
Nebraska, while the main line Of the
Union Pacific winds through the Platte
valley, in the rich bottoms of which thou
sands OF tons of hay are annually cut.
The corn, or the major portion of the
large crop, is now marketed in Chicago.
The hay is sold in eastern Nebraska and
Iowa. To both receiving points the
freight rate was, prior to the recent cut
made, lower than to Cheyenne and par
allel places. With another trifing reduc-
ton, which is certain to be made in the
near future, western buyers can enter the
lists with eastern consumers.
The outcome of this gradual reduction
in the freight tariff will be of vast benefit
to Wyoming stock growers, who already
realize that by feeding west of Chicago
much better prices will be paid for their
beeves. With large feeding pens at
Cheyenne and smaller ones at various
stations along the line, the scrawny ma
tive from Wyoming will disappear from
eastern markets, and large, fat and sleek
beeves from the territory will be quoted
at top figures.
Several Wyoming cattle concerns, nota-
bly, the Union company. feed in Ne.
braska and profit thereby, but the natural
facilities for feeding in Wyoming far ex-
coed those of any other point in the west.
OF these advantages the favorable eli
mate Is the prime feature and strongest
inducement, At present central and
western Nebraska is covered with snow,
and will remain in that condition until
spring. Open winters are the rule in
Wyoming. Cold waves of are infrequent
occurrence and invariably of short dura-
ton.
Even by Nebraskans it is admitted that
within a year at most the feed will be
shipped from hat state to Wyoming and
the fattened cattle sent from hero to
Chicago.

Jas. Donnelly is one of the four men
arrested at the Kecline ranch sometime
since charged with assisting Mccoy in his
flight. 1t was given out at the time OF
the arrest that Donnelly was a fugitive
from Texas, and that there was a stand
ing reward of $1,000 for his apprehens
sion. Areporter met Donnelly last even
ing, and was requested to contradict the
statement that he was a desperate. His
request is readily complied with for more
reasons than one, He is manly appear
ing and candid, and gives a good account
Of himself. AS Donnelly Is but % years
of age, and the crime charged to hun
the murder of a city marshal-occurred
nine years ago, the absurdity of the state,

Lieut.. VIM. A. Mann, of Fort Russell,
has been granted a leave of absence fol
one month.
Courts martial will convene at Fort

Thursday.
In the case Of Capt. Charles Fl.
Greene, 18th Infantry, sentenced to be
suspended from rank and command fol
the period OF mt year. and to be confined
to the limits of the post where his com
pany is serving, for that period, the I'M
executed portion of his sentence is remit
ted. Capt. Greene's trial occurred at
Fort Russell last summer. He was
charged with duplication of pay accounts
A Fort DuChesne court martial is dis
solved by a special order of the 2Sth inst.
ult. While in session the body convicted
a first lieutenant for a most trivial offense
and acquitted a captain who winked at
proceedings which caused a scandal and
were a disgrace to the service.

THE BUFFALO LAND OFFICE.
Its Opening Not Probable for Several
Months Yet.

AS the senate is in session the new re-
celver for Buffalo, when appointed, will
have to be confirmed before he can enter
upon his duties. The appointment is not
likely to be made, aver if MIR. Villas i'm
mediately succeeds Mr.. Lamar, until after
the holidays. Should the confirmation Of
Mr.. Lamar, Mr.. Villas and others not be
taken up until after the holidays by the
senate, it is well known that Mr., Lamar
will make no appointments, as hcdoes not
want to leave his successor a clean board.
After the new receiver is appointed, and
confirmed by the senate, he then has to
make a bond which must be approved by
the department before his commission
issues. The making of rsuch bond, its
transmittal to Washington, action by the
department and the sending of the COM
mission to the appointee, consumes at
least a month. When all this is done, be-
fore the register and receiver can enter
upon the discharge of their duties the
register and receiver at Cheyenne must
give official notice of a month or six
weeks by publication that no new bust
ness will be received from johnson and
Crook counties, before the new land office
is opened for business. This is necessary
in order to clean up the business in final
proofs now advertised in those counties.
1t therefore seems probable that the new
land Office at Buffalo cannot be opened for
business within two months at least.
As the Cheyenne Office is three or four
times the maximum, the register and re-
ceiver here express themselves as eager to
have the new office established, as it will
relieve them of much work, while at the
same time not interfering with their sala.

MICHAEL
The Great Spectacular Drama In Town
Tomorrow Night.

The play is largely spectacular, but its
dramatic features are those which appeal
most strongly to the sympathy and de-
light of the spectators. 1t is said to be
immeasurably superior in that respect to
Zo-Zo, the DeuiTs AUCTION, and other
plays with which the Cheyenne public is
familiar and in which the most attenua-
ted ghost ola plot is kept together merely
by the effect of scenic painting and other
accessories. The plot, which is iami-
liar to all readers of the equally facile and
fascinating Jules Verne, needs no detailed
description. 1t bristles with swords and
reverberates with bombs, pistols, musk
cts and the tread OF war horses; the seem
cry is equally barbaric, gorgeous and real
istic. 1t is a performance that is well
worth seeing. The spectacular parts arc
excellent. The special ballet advertisement
is a most entertaining and attractive feat
ure Of the play.

The bonds of Hall, Stubs, McChcst-
nj and McGinnis we're fixed at $500 each.
Two appealed cases of the City of Chey-
enne VS.. Helen jenkins were dismissed
at plaintiffs cost.
VIM. G. Moore. the assaulter of Lottie
Smith near Fort Laramie, was arraigned
and entered a plea of not guilty.
Gibson Clark moved that the indict
ment against young McGinnis be quashed.
The motion was taken under advisement
by the judge.
Williams, alleged horse thief from
Lusk, was discharged on motion of prose
cutting attorney, no complaint having been
made against him.
Alexander Aston, who pleaded guilty
to petit larceny, was sentenced to serve
two months In the county jail.
Two cases against the Swans came up
for consideration, but no final disposition
was made of either litigation.
